Cleaning Product of the Month - Febreze SPORT

Fitness apparel and athletic gear that aren't machine washable, like yoga mats, shoes, or kneepads, can become a breeding ground for unwanted smells and bacteria. I find that simply airing out my running shoes doesn't always do the trick, but as I exercise close to every day, I don't really have the time to clean my shoes after each workout.

Recently I discovered an easy solution to my problem: Febreze SPORT Extreme Odor Eliminator. After I finish my workout in Central Park, I give my shoes a quick spritz, and find that the odors fade away. I'd recommend that you keep a bottle of this spray in your car to make the ride home more pleasant after you pick up your star goalie from soccer practice.

Looking for a new air freshener for your home? Febreze has also introduced a No Spill Wood Diffuser. It works just like a reed diffuser, but with WoodWick technology it will not spill even if its accidentally tipped over. We tried is out in our lab, and the scent lasted for several months.
